Formerly
a small traditional fishing village , traversed by the picturesque
river of Messonghi. It still preserves of the simple rural life
which is so evident in Messonghi village. Messonghi Corfu spread along
the seafront for just under a mile, with most of the tourist amenities
situated along a quarter-mile stretch. It is essentially on off
shoot of neighbouring Moraitika and is quiet with a relaxed, friendly
atmosphere. Popular among couples and families , it is off the
main road so it doesn’t have traffic problems that are the
bane of so many similar resorts.
The Messonghi river flows flows in from the surrounding gentle
hills and boats offering trips congregate at its mouth.
There are breathtaking views of the little port of Messonghi and
of St. Nectarios church , hidden behind the well in the Messonghi
hills. |
